Tim Farr has an impressive Pit setup for 2006 with his new team including Josh Upperman and Mark Kendall. Tim Farr and Shane Hitt purchased their rigs from Honda Motorcycle riders Mike LaRocco and Kevin Windham.

Unfortunately for Tim Farr, he was in too much pain after Saturday's qualifier to even race on Sunday. Over the winter, Tim had back surgery and he still hasn't had enough time to fully recover, so he is going to save himself for Florida.
